Information on Applying
| We anticipate that 6-10 students will be selected for pursuing Titan SURF projects this summer. Partial funding is available for both Caltech and non-Caltech students whose proposals are selected.
Students who are interested in apply for a Titan SURF project should contact the mentors listed in the project summaries to determine if the project is a good match for their interests. Individual mentors will determine whether they will offer advice and guidance for the student's proposal write-up. All proposals must be submitted according to the usual SURF office procedures.
